SECTION 3 CREDIT SYSTEM

3.0 CREDIT SYSTEM

3.1.1 In the semester system, each course has a credit value. Credit refers to a quantitative measurement of all learning activities or academic load to achieve specific learning outcomes. Learning outcomes are statements that describe the knowledge of skills students should acquire at the end of a period of study.

3.1.2 To achieve the learning outcomes, students need to effectively allocate learning hours (also known as Student Learning Time - SLT). SLT includes time to accomplish all learning activities including formal meetings (such as lectures), guided learning (such as tutorials, seminars, practicum, and fieldwork), individual learning (such as self-directed learning, information search, and research) as well as preparing and sitting for the examination.

3.1.3 As a general guideline, one (1) credit hour in a course is equivalent to 40 notional hours.

3.1.3.1 One (1) hour per week lecture; OR 3.1.3.2 Two (2) hours – three (3) hours per week laboratory or workshop

session; OR 3.1.3.3 Two (2) hours per week supervised tutorial session; OR 3.1.3.4 Three (3) hours per week problem-based learning activities, e-learning

modules, site visits and coursework projects activities.

3.1.4 One (1) credit hour is also equivalent to three (3) hours per week Final Year Project/Diploma Project activities or Integrated Design Project activities inclusive of meeting with supervisor.

3.1.5 One (1) credit hour is also equivalent to two (2) weeks of industrial training activities.

3.1.6 A general guideline for estimating student’s independent learning time may follow as below:

3.1.6.1 for every one (1) hour of lecture, a student may spend one (1) hour of preparation;

3.1.6.2 for every one (1) hour of tutorial/ laboratory/ workshop, a student may spend one (1) hour of preparation;

3.1.6.3 for any one (1) hour assessment, a student may need a minimum three (3) hours of preparation;

3.2 CREDIT FOR GRADUATION

3.2.1 Credit for graduation is the number of credits in a curriculum structure determined by the BPT and approved by the Senate that a student must pass in order to graduate (Refer Section 7: Graduation).


21

3.3 CREDIT EARNED

3.3.1 Credit Earned refers to the total credits earned for courses passed, or the combination of courses passed with any Credit Transfer.

3.4 CREDIT COUNTED

3.4.1 Credit Counted refers to the number of credits obtained for courses passed and is taken into account in the calculation of the GPA and the CGPA. Credits for co-curriculum courses are not counted in the CGPA calculation.

3.5 CREDIT TRANSFER

3.5.1 Credit Transfer is a provision applicable for students who have been successfully approved for change of programme (Refer 2.1.3 Change of Academic Programme), which allows credit obtained by students after

attending and passing certain courses of previous diploma programme pursued at KPM to be transferred to the current KPM diploma programme.

3.5.2 The courses that have been taken must be recognised as equivalent and meet the requirements of the current KPM programme curriculum.

3.5.3 If approved, the total credits transferred will be counted as part of the credits for graduation but may or may not be counted in GPA and CGPA calculations, subject to the conditions for Credit Transfer with Grade and Credit Transfer without Grade (also known as Credit Exemption).

3.5.4 As a result of the approved Credit Transfer, students are not required to register and attend the equivalent course for the current program.

3.5.5 The credit transfer is not applicable for courses offered from other educational institutions.

3.5.6 Application for credit transfer of non-common courses are subject to the following conditions:

3.5.6.1 the course(s) are of the same credit value or equivalent or more, to the course(s) in the new programme;

3.5.6.2 the course(s) must be equivalent/similar to at least 80% in content based on course(s) to course(s) comparison;

3.5.6.3 the student must have obtained at least a grade ‘C’ or equivalent in the course(s);

3.5.6.4 the credit transferrable course(s) must be from programme that have received an accreditation/recognized by a relevant authority in the country.
